Dwight Howard's dedicated snake room housing stacked multi-unit glass reptile terrariums

NBA star Dwight Howard hikes price on his 14-acre Georgia mega-mansion to $14.5million – and it comes with six kitchens and a room just for his snakes

Dwight Howard is trying to sell his Suwanee, Georgia estate again, and this time he wants $14.5 million. That's $3.25 million more than the last listing, for a house with six kitchens and a room built for snakes.

Through the gate

14 acres on Moore Road in Suwanee. The gate is the first of many things here that are too big.

Built in 2010, which surprised me. It's dressed up like it's been standing since 1850.

First thing you see inside is Dwight. Then more Dwight.

His 2020 title with the Lakers gets its own wall. Fair enough, I'd do that too.

That chandelier looks like someone froze a wave mid-crash over the dinner table. I like it more than I expected to.

A second curved staircase, in case the first one got boring.

Upstairs

A Louis Vuitton rug covering an entire guest room floor. One of 10 bedrooms, and easily the most honest one.

Inversion table by the window. Somebody's back hurts.

Now the bed. It was custom built for a 6-foot-10 center, so it has steps. Actual steps.

Colored glass lanterns in the hall to the bathrooms. Plural.

Two bathrooms, two closets

His suite gets two full bathrooms. Here's the dark wood one.

Floor-to-ceiling shoe shelves, which I'm assuming is mostly sneakers.

Bathroom number two goes white and mirrored, like a completely different person designed it.

Then it gets Roman. Columns around a sunken tub.

There's a painted urn in the niche behind it. I don't get it, but fine.

A desk with mail cubbies and a TV, inside the bathroom. Paperwork in the tub, I guess.

The second closet has a skylight. My whole apartment doesn't have a skylight.

Games, movies and six kitchens

Downstairs is where it starts looking like someone fun lives here.

Arcade machines and a mini hoop, for when the real basketball court outside is too far to walk.

One commenter said they lost track of where they were in the house after the first minute. Same. I think we're still on the lower level.

Kitchen one of six. All of them have Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, according to the listing.

Looks like a fancy wardrobe. It isn't.

It's a walk-in pantry. I'd be opening this for every single guest.

Then a butler's pantry bigger than most people's actual kitchens.

Superman art in the dining room. That was his nickname, and he's not letting anyone forget it.

Kitchen two. Skylights again.

Kitchen three. Viewers pointed out the bed, bath and square footage numbers kept changing through the video, so I've stopped trusting my own count.

The snake room

An arcade that doubles as a recording setup, softbox lights and all.

Glass roof on the sunroom, so you can look up at more house.

Corner enclosures go floor to ceiling for the big constrictors. There's a TV in there too. I'd love to know if these stay with the house.

Out back

Guest house down there, pool house too.

Heated saltwater pool with a hoop at the end and an outdoor fireplace the size of a small chapel. Somewhere on the 14 acres there's also a private lake with a dock.

Another fountain. I've lost count.

Somebody in the comments asked what happened to the pineapple theme. I have no idea what that means and I need someone to explain.
